Speaking to a global audience of tens of millions, George Clooney, the prime mover behind 'Hope for Haiti Now' described the earthquake that hit the Carribean island on January 12 as 'a tragedy that reaches across all borders, all boundaries...the Haitian people need our help. They need to know they are not alone.'
A stellar cast of musicians and actors, performing in three locations, included Madonna, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and Jennifer Hudson. In London, Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge and Rihanna performed 'Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)' a song written and produced within the last week.
It was written in a few days and shows. Rihanna takes alot away from it.
Sorry but, they took time away from the album for THAT?

Sound check-Bono's mike
I loved the song especially the chorus but I really wish I could have heard Bono's voice. Bono never minds sharing the spotlight but please turn his mike on.

Brilliant
it's so interesting and metaphorical I really like it - 3 different vocal styles interchanging so none is left stranded - they juxtapose really well. Really great chorus - and I love the ending.
Have pre-ordered! cant wait to download!

Bad song - Good cause
I've been a U2 fan for a very long time. And Bono's voice is good, but is toned down by Rihanna's. Rihanna does not fit in this song at all.. Bono should be the lead singer, and not backing vocals... I support Haiti, but they deserve a much, much better song.
